Epithelial Tissue Flashcards
- Highly cellular tissue held together by cellular junction
- Avascular
Epithelial Tissue
Covers surface of the body
Lining epithelium
What other tissue supports the epithelial tissue?
Connective Tissue
Here lies the Epithelial Tissue.
Basement Membrane
Branch of epithelial tissue responsible for secretions.
Glandular Epithelium
Type of simple single epithelium tissue which appears to have multiple layers.
Pseudostratified columnar layer
Epithelium tissue with 2 or more cell layers
Stratified Epithelial Tissue
Finger-like extension located in the lower digestive track responsible for absorption of nutrients.
Microvilli
This type of exocrine gland produces mucin and is the inner lining of the intestines and the respiratory system
Unicellular (goblet cells)
Sweat glands
Merocrine glands
Exocrine gland formed by invagination of the epithelial sheet
Multicellular gland
Mammary glands
Apocrine glands
Sebaceous glands
Holocrine glands
Thick; clear; slimy. From the sublingual gland.
Mucous membrane
Membrane that is watery; opalescent. From the parotid gland.
Serous Membrane
The combination of the mucous membrane and the serous membrane is produced where?
Submandibular gland
The epithelial tissue can regenerate if it is nourished. (True or False)
TRUE
Striated border is described as less orderly; “wet brush” (True or False)
FALSE (brush)
Epithelium: blood vessel; Mesothelium: body cavities
TRUE
Epithelial Tissue takes form in 5 shapes. (True or False)
FALSE (3: squamous, cuboidal, columnar)
Absorption, nourishment, secretion, transportation, protection, and sensation are all functions of the epithelial tissue. (True or False)
FALSE (Remove nourishment; replace sensation with sensory perception)
Alveolar gland: consistent shape, :Tubular gland: sac like
FALSE (Alveolar: sac like; Tubular: consistent shape)
Invagination of epithelial tissue into underlying
connective tissue
Glandular Epithelium
